Two of the greatest players ever to don the iconic winged-wheel of the Detroit Red Wings, Ted Lindsay and Alex Delvecchio were instrumental in the success of the Motor City squad throughout the Original Six era, with the pair each members of Stanley Cup championships in 1952, 1954 and 1955. Offered directly from the Ted Lindsay Foundation with proceeds from this sale to benefit their continued battle against autism, we have a “Motor City’s Finest” print signed by the superstar duo. At 16” x 20” and depicting the pair with both portrait and full body images along with small black and white vignettes, each has signed over their respective image in blue sharpie, with the signatures displaying beautifully. With just light touches to a few corners, an LOA will accompany.
Originally created by the legendary Hall of Fame superstar in 2001 to assist a friend’s child diagnosed with autism, the Ted Lindsay Foundation was established to “support research and educational programs focusing on the cause and management of autism spectrum disorders.” Although Ted sadly left us in 2019, the foundation’s important work has continued, with over 5 million raised from inception through 2020. At the 28th National Philanthropy Day celebration, the Ted Lindsay Foundation received the prestigious “Outstanding Foundation Award” for 2019, from the Greater Detroit Chapter of Association of Fundraising Professionals for demonstrating “outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation to others to take leadership roles in philanthropy and community involvement.” A partial list of programs supported by the Ted Lindsay Foundation include; FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation, The Healing Haven-Linking Hands and Hearts, The Courage Awards, Venetian’s Club’s Halloween Party, The Johnson Center, Dutton Farms and For The Kids Foundation.
